I know, this is kind of a stupid question, but I am just curious....If a person is here illegally, are they allowed to own a car? I mean, think about it...there are people from other countries who own vacation homes here and such....and they do not have any sort of US residency whatsoever. Sure, maybe when they visit they have a visa to enter the country legally, but as far as having any sort of legal documentation that identifies them as having any type of residency status in the US, they do not have it.
So, if that is the case, can a person who is here illegally actually own any kind of property, as far as actually holding the title to the property (house, car, whatever)?
The reason I ask is that someone mentioned to me that the illegals here in my area always use someone else to assist them in transferring car titles for use here in the US. It confused me, because it seems like they would be able to transfer the title themselves?
I realize they cannot register the vehicle or obtain license plates without residency, I am only referring to the transfer of title.

If they have the money, anyone has the right to own something, whether it be a house/car/ or whatever.
